    Notes: The productivity of white-collar workers in heavily computerized sectors of the economy has collapsed in recent years. This paper suggests that one reason for this involves inefficiencies generated by EDP departments, which have created systems of control enmeshing not only workers but senior management.

    Notes: In 1987–88 a large attitudinal survey covering all 12 Member States of the European Community was carried out by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions in Dublin which focused on various aspects of participation by employee representatives in new information technology. This paper presents evidence on one important aspect of technological change—that of participation in product and service quality.

    Notes: Studies of the relationship between technological change and employment are placed in a conceptual framework prior to an empirical study of the direct employment effects of new technology and a comparison with the effects of organizational change. It shows that the latter are considerably greater than the former, though both are relatively minor.

    Notes: Attempts to develop robots for use on construction sites are following different paths in Britain and Japan. Japanese construction firms have invested heavily in modification of existing equipment to improve productivity and quality by making good use of machine operators' skills. In contrast, British researchers are attempting to make ‘quantum leaps' in construction technologies by developing automated machinery which requires minimal human intervention and operator skills. The article assesses the viability of these two contrasting approaches.

    Notes: This article examines the impact of information technology as one of the factors affecting the numbers and roles of middle managers. The authors highlight the need to empirically examine middle management work in the context of the complexity of changes affecting the job of middle managers and the complexity of reactions to these changes, if further assertions about the future of middle management are to be avoided.

    Notes: This article attempts to examine what is believed to be a significant overall Taylorist influence in Japanese manufacturing as well as a specific manifestation of this phenomenon, namely the unique flow requirements of the generic Toyota system (JIT). The use of unbufferred flow, it is argued, is feasible only with consistent quality, thus making non-discretionary Taylorist job design a necessary condition.

    Notes: The deep coal mining industry was in rapid decline in Britain in the 1980s and 1990s. In many localities formerly associated with the industry, there was a need to encourage diversification and innovation as a means of economic regeneration. The activities of one project which aimed at this are examined here.

    Notes: Employment in UK retail banking has begun to decline as all the major institutions shed workers. Technological, organizational and market-driven reasons for the job losses in the major clearing banks are discussed. Irrevocable long-term changes in employers' industrial relations and human resource strategies are identified as necessary accompaniments to pushing the current retrenchment through in the context of a developing general crisis in employment relations.

    Notes: Drawing on primary and secondary sources the authors argue that the JIT/TQM manufacturing system intensifies work as a result of increased surveillance and monitoring of workers' activities, heightened responsibility and accountability, the harnessing of peer pressure within ‘teams' and via ‘customers', and the fostering of ‘involvement’ in waste elimination and the continuous improvement of the production process.

    Notes: The oversimplified analysis of subcontracting in terms of the relations between small and large firms needs to be abandoned in favour of a broader societal approach. Drawing on empirical evidence from Britain and France it is argued that such an approach can identify a wider range of political, social and economic factors affecting the decision to subcontract.

    Notes: Drawing on empirical material from a research project on new technology and skills, the author discusses the scope for personnel strategies within a context of varying social constraints. He concludes that within a given production and at a given level of technology, a variation of strategies for staff training and development may emerge. It is argued that the style of management plays a considerable role in determining job design and skill development.

    Notes: This article examines the introduction of new process technology into a local labour market in the late 1980s and relates variations in adoption rates to establishment characteristics. The authors highlight the contrasts in the employment outcomes and training requirements in adopting and non-adopting establishments and find that ‘adopters' expect more changes in employment, more skills shortages and have a greater awareness of future training needs.

    Notes: The introduction of new technology is often accompanied by changes in working time arrangements. These changes, however, are by no means homogeneous. They are contingent upon a variety of factors which may differ widely from organization to organization. Using findings from a study on the consequences of CAD application it is shown that among these factors the bargaining power of affected employee groups is particularly important.

    Notes: Here the author presents an alternative view of recent changes in skilled work in British Telecom to that provided by Roger Penn in a recent article in NTWE. In particular, he argues for a detailed analysis of changing work tasks, a clear definition of skill, and a greater focus on the changing distribution of tasks and skills between different occupational groups.

    Notes: The traditional system of managing corporate manpower resources in Japan has fostered incremental innovation, diversification and organic growth. The establishment of R & D labs for frontier research has brought debate about the need to reform, or even abandon, traditional methods. The evidence to date suggests marginal rather than wholesale change.

    Notes: This article analyses the impact of just-in-time production on the three resources of machines, materials and people, and suggests that JIT entails a redistribution of slack between these resources. The impact of JIT on an organization's human resources is particularly problematical; pressures towards both increased variety and intensity of work are apparent.

    Notes: High technology industry in the US and Japan can be thought of as distinct organizational models. Here the authors examine the historical evolution, major characteristics, and benefits and costs of these different models. This leads to the conclusion that organizational factors exert a powerful influence on the ability of firms, industries and nations to adapt to new technology-intensive industries.

    Notes: The Workplace Industrial Relations Survey shows that in the large majority of cases the introduction of new technology is supported by the workers affected and their union representatives. In contrast, organisational change receives a more mixed response. Case studies reveal some of the principal reasons for the contrasting reactions to different forms of change.

    Notes: Here the author examines the relationship of technical change and job skills amongst maintenance workers in telecommunications in Britain. It demonstrates that there are significant variations within different areas of such maintenance work and strongly challenges the notion that such maintenance work is subject to a generic process of deskilling in the present era.

    Notes: The computing occupations are in a state of transition between a technical service and something more central to organizational power and decision-making. This process has had complex implications for the nature of computing work and for careers. There is no certainty that embryonic changes will carry through. But neither should the chances of these occupations of mounting a ‘collective mobility project’ be written off early.

    Notes: The relationship between new information and communication technology and organizations is the subject of considerable debate. So too is the nature of organizational transformation. ‘Business process re-engineering’, with its emphasis upon the strategic deployment of information systems, brings both debates together. But does it resolve any of the issues?

    Notes: This article critically examines the phenomenon of ‘Reengineering’ (or Business Process Reengineering: as it is sometimes called) as a transfer of ‘just-in-time’ techniques developed in manufacturing to the office environment. The article concludes that its most likely diffusion will be for ‘downsizing’ and ‘cost-reduction’, and may result in a modest degree of success in only some of its applications to manufacturing and office environments.

    Notes: Drawing on empirical material from comparative research on jobbing printing in Iceland and Sweden, the author argues that the typesetting process has been subjected to deskilling, and he stresses that the development has been far more complex than often is realised. He concludes that gender, firm size, and production run and variety, must be considered in order to explain the diversity in the typesetting process.

    Notes: Here the author explores the dynamics of workplace control in the provincial newspaper industry, and argues that direct input technology has led to structural changes that shift the locus of control from the printers (typesetters/compositors) to the journalists (sub-editors) by increasing the latter group's influence over strategic contingencies in the production process.

    Notes: This article discusses the phenomenon of plateaued, or suboptimizing behavior, by owner-managers of smaller companies. While it may appear that owner-managers have every reason to enjoy their professions and maximize the value of their businesses, we assert that many owner-managers devote their energies to activities outside the business. The article examines not only symptoms and possible causes of this type of behavior but also offers some alternatives for overcoming this problem.

    Notes: Many new Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes have been discovered in the last 5 years. Defining the polymorphism of these new genes may elucidate their function and their relevance to diseases with MHC associations. Polymerase chain reaction and single stranded conformation polymorphism (PCR SSCP) analyses were used to detect sequence polymorphisms of PERB1 demonstrated by comparing the available genomic sequence of four haplotypes. This study showed that PCR SSCP of PERB 1 is reproducible. In addition, PERB1 alleles segregate within families together with MHC haplotypes. Typing results from the Forth Asia and Oceania Histocompatibility Workshop (4AOHW) cell panel indicate that the identified polymorphisms of PERB 1 are ‘haplotypic’, i.e., unrelated individuals carrying the same MHC ancestral haplotypes carry the same PERB1 SSCP pattern. Interestingly, PERB1 SSCP patterns allow the distinction of ancestral haplotypes which share HLA-B serological specificities, such as HLA-B44 and therefore this analysis can be used to further define MHC haplotypes and thus to improve our understanding of the evolution of this complex.

    Notes: Twenty-eight cases of coeliac disease (CD) and seven of dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) have been verified in Iceland. Standard serological techniques were used for HLA typing. Twenty-five individuals with CD were typed, 21 (84%) of whom carried DR3, DQ2. Twelve of these 25 (48%) had DR3, DR7, DQ2, which makes them possibly homozygous for DQ2, and suggests that homozygosity of DQ2 increases the risk for CD. The four DH patients that were typed all had HLA-B8, DR3, DQ2. It is concluded that CD and DH are associated with DR3, DQZ in Icelanders.

    Notes: HLA antigens of the Kuwaiti population are not as well characterized as those of other international ethnic groups. We present results for HLA typing of Kuwaiti individuals using commercial Biotest sera. Six hundred and seventy one Kuwaiti were typed for HLA-A, -B, -C antigens and 399 were typed for HLA-DR, -DQ antigens. Antigen frequency and gene frequency were computed for each phenotype observed. The antigens with the highest frequencies were HLA-A2, A1 and A3; B5, B12 and B7; Cw″4 and Cw-l; DR52, DR5, DR3 and DR7; DQ1 and DQ2. HLA haplotypes with strong linkage disequilibrium and characteristic of Kuwaiti population are A2-B5, A1-B8, B7-DR7 and B8-DR3. A comparison study with other populations is presented.

    Notes: HLA-B14 positive haplotypes have increased frequencies in a group of patients with puberty disorders, IgA deficiency and cancer of the ovary. Clinical investigations demonstrated that all these patients have high values of 170H progesteron after the ACTH test which suggests an alterated function of 21 hydroxylase enzyme. In order to investigate whether these B14 positive haplotypes carry the same CYP21 mutation in the various diseases and controls, we have amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) the sections of CYP21B gene which include amino acid positions 172 and 281 where typical mutations are known to occur in 21 hydroxylase deficiency. The presence or absence of the defined mutations was tested by oligonucleotide hybridization using oligonucleotides, labelled with DIG-ddUTP, designed to hybridize with the mutated or with the normal sequence. It was found that regardless of whether the subject tested was a patient or a healthy control the mutation at position 281 was found in all cases carrying HLA-B14, DR1 haplotype. Interestingly, this mutation does not seem to be in association with HLA-B14, DR7 haplotype.These findings suggest that CYP21 gene plays a role in all these differing diseases although it must be stressed that there may be alternative explanations for the observed data.

    Notes: HLA-DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1 alleles have been determined in 42 families with one IDDM proband and 64 healthy controls, by oligotyping (PCR-SSO) using primers and probes from the XI International Histocompatibility Workshop. A positive DRB1 *03 and DRB1 *04 association with the disease was observed, whereas DRB 1*11 and DRB 1 *07 showed negative association but 19% of patients carried DRB1 alleles different to DRB 1 *03 or *04. When single alleles were considered, DQA1 *03 showed the strongest association with susceptibility to the disease (RR = 8.2, Pc = 0.00001) but this association was outgrown by 2 and 3 allele combinations, with genotype DRB 1 *04-DQA 1 *03-DQB1*0302/DRB1*03- DQA 1*0501- DQB 1*0201 showing the strongest association (RR = 28, Pc = 0.002). Application of the relative predispositional effect (RPE) method to our data, revealed a further susceptibility risk provided by the DRB1*13-DQA1*0102-DQB 1*0604 haplotype once DR3 and DR4 haplotypes were removed. When DQA1-DQB1 genotypes were analysed for presence of Arg 52 (DQ α) and absence of Asp 57 (DQ β), genotypes SS/SS were found significantly increased in diabetics. Interestingly, one of the strongest associations with the disease was observed with the DQA 1*03-DQB 1*0201 combination encoded mainly by genes in trans (RR = 11.7 Pc = 0.00004). These observations and their comparison with DR-DQ haplotypes in more homogeneous ethnic groups support the stronger influence of the DQ molecule rather than the individual DR or DQ alleles in the susceptibility to IDDM. They also emphasize the need for detailed HLA haplotype studies in non-Caucasian and ethnically mixed populations to gain further insight into the nature of genetic and environmental factors contribution to autoimmunity.

    Notes: The human TNF genes are located within the MHC class-III region on chromosome 6. The presence or absence of an Nco-I restriction site in the 5’ non-coding sequence of the TNFβ gene defines two alleles (TNFB*1 and TNFB*2). The segregation of these alleles has been associated with levels of TNFα or TNFβ production in systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE), insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and in healthy control individuals.Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by high levels of TNFα within the synovial fluid and to address the question of whether this could be brought about by a genetic predisposition to high TNF production by RA individuals, we examined the distribution of this Nco-I polymorphism in 98 healthy volunteers and 123 patients with active rheumatoid arthritis. No difference was observed between the normal and RA groups with respect to haplotype segregation or allelic frequency. Furthermore, no difference was observed between DR4+ or DR4- individuals in the control or RA groups.These data demonstrate that the high level of TNFα seen in the joints of RA patients is unlikely to be due to a genetic predisposition of these patients to high TNFα production, as defined by the TNF Nco-I restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP).

    Notes: The exceptionally strong independent association found between Lp(a) lipoprotein [Lp(a)] levels and atherosclerotic disorders indicate that Lp(a) is a factor of considerable importance in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The association between Lp(a) and diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and renal diseases suggest that Lp(a) may be involved in immunological mechanisms.Lp(a) has a great tendency to aggregate and bind to glucosaminoglycans, fibrin and fibronectin and is preferentially retained in the extracellular matrix during development of atherosclerosis and is in vitro phagocytosed by macrophages, probably as small aggregates. It was previously found that the Lp(a) level is significantly related to the HLA class II genotype in male patients with early coronary artery disease. In this paper additional results of interleukin determinations in relation to HLA type and Lp(a) levels are presented and discussed. It is suggested that an autoimmune process, perhaps triggered by a concomitant intracellular infection may occur, especially in patients with inherited high Lp(a) levels in combination with certain inherited HLA class II genotypes.

    Notes: DPB1 locus typing of the 155 cell 4AOHW panel was performed using a PCR-RFLP method. Ambiguity of allele assignment was resolved by amplification using sequence-specific primers. Of the 150 cells for which typings were achieved, three exhibited unusual restriction enzyme fragment patterns, suggesting the possibility of novel DPB1 alleles. Sequence analysis revealed one allele present in the currently reported 46, one novel allele (4AOHW/107) not present among the 46, and one from a non-human primate which is being investigated. Twenty-six (26) of the 34 10IHW cells have been studied previously by cDNA RFLP, and strong haplotypic associations have been demonstrated between DPA1 and DPB1 locus alleles. It is proposed that exploitation of intron polymorphisms marking haplotypes will be an integral part of future DPB 1 typing as a ‘first-pass’ stratification process to minimize the requirement for sequence-based methods to definitively assign DPB 1 alleles.

    Notes: DNA oligotyping was used to determine HLA-A28 subtypes in 25 unrelated Caucasian individuals living in or around Seville, Spain. Results showed that HLA-A*6802 was the most frequent allele, found in 14 individuals (53.8%), followed by HLA-68.3, which was present in eight subjects (30.8%), and both combined represented 84.6% of A28+ individuals in the area. The HLA-A*6801 allele was found in three individuals (11.5%), whereas HLA-A*6901 was present in one subject only (3.8%). Results indicate that the distribution of HLA-A28 alleles can vary among different Caucasoid populations. In this way, the high frequency obtained for A*6802 supports previous studies suggesting that the HLA-A*6802 allele was prevalent in people of the Mediterranean basin, in contrast to A*6801, prevalent in northern European populations.

    Notes: A new HLA-B antigen, HLA-B7Qui that appears to be a variant of HLA-B7 has been identified. This antigen, which is HLA-Bw6 associated, reacts with approximately two-thirds of cytotoxic antisera stimulated by HLA-B7 or B27 that lack a B27 or B7 component, respectively. All anti-B7+27 antisera (stimulated by either B7 or B27) react with B7Qui as do most B22-stimulated sera possessing a B7 component. However, sera stimulated by B60, with or without a B7 component, fail to react with B7Qui.Family studies show the B7Qui allele to be unique to the haplotype –HLA-A32 CW6 B7Qui Bf*S C4A*6 C4B*1 DR11 DQ7 (GL02). Six Caucasoid subjects on the panel of 6861 HLA-typed potential bone marrow donors have this antigen (phenotype frequency, 0.08745%; gene frequency, 0.04473%). Work undertaken during the 11th International Histocompatibility Workshop (Reekers et al., 1992) showed that B7Qui has the same isoelectric point as HLA-B702 and HLA-B703 (Bpot) and that B7Qui is distinct from the HLA-B7 variants B703, B7SL, BDT, B7x40, BRI, and B41v.

    Notes: Five human teratoma cell lines have been characterized for the presence of a certain number of marker antigens whose presence or absence has been shown to be characteristic of mouse embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells. Four out of the five lines have been shown to respond to at least some of the criteria associated with murine EC cells even though only limited in vitro differentiation could be demonstrated. The significance of certain unusual marker antigen combinations present on the cell line Tera I and its clones and so far unobserved for the murine model is discussed. The observation in Tera I populations of cells carrying simultaneously both the F9 and β2-microglobulin or HLA antigens, suggest that the human cell lines may represent a novel material for the study of mammalian differentiation.

    Notes: HLA-DRB1*04 allele frequencies have been determined in 184 HLA-DR4-positive unrelated blood donors from the South Wales area, using group-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and hybridization with sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes, PCR amplification with sequence-specific primers, and PCR single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis.Eight of the fifteen known HLA-DR4 sequences were detected in this study. Linkage disequilibrium analysis of HLA-DRB1 *04 and HLA-B, -DR and -DQ alleles revealed distinct haplotypic associations for all the major alleles detected in this population, including the novel linkage of HLA-B55 with DRB1*0407.These results are relevant to the role of HLA-DRB 1*04 haplotypes in determining allogeneic histocompatibility and disease susceptibility.

    Notes: Samples from 94 Swedish blood donors were analysed for HLA-DQA1 and -DQB1 alleles by the PCR-SSO technique used in the XIth Histocompatibility Workshop. Seven DQA1 and 12 DQB1 alleles were identified and a total of 17 haplotype combinations were found deduced from the most probable allele combinations. Frequencies calculated from these haplotypes were compared to those calculated from the phenotypes according to Mattiuz et al. (1970). There was no significant difference in the frequencies of the 17 haplotype combinations deduced. Eight haplotype combinations had exactly the same frequencies and four had approximately the same frequencies independent of the calculation method used. The DQA1*0301-DQB 1*0302, DQA1*0501-DQB1*0201, DQA1* 0101-DQB1* 0501, and DQA1*0102-DQB1*0602 were the most frequent haplotypes with frequencies over 0.130.

    Notes: We have studied the genotypic, haplotypic, and allelic distribution of germline Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) of T-cell receptor (Tcr) α, γ, and δ loci in 75 insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients and 84 healthy blood donors as control population. The restriction endonuclease PvuII produces three allelic fragments of Tcr C-γ (TcrCG) gene segment of 16,13, and 11.3 Kb respectively. Our observations revealed that PvuII/TcrCG RFLP allelic distributions were not significantly different in the IDDM and the control group. However, 85% of IDDM patients carried HLA DR3 and/or DR4 haplotypes, and when comparing these patients with a second group of HLA DR3+ and/or DR4+ healthy individuals, the 11Kb/PvuII fragment of TcrCG gene was found to be associated with IDDM patients (χ= 11.4, P= 0.003). 54.9% of IDDM patients carried at least one 11.3 Kb allele vs. 21% in controls (χ= 10.77, P = 0.004). No significant association was found between RFLP in Tcr, Cα, Cδ, Vγ9 loci and IDDM.

    Notes: The outcome of subcutaneous infection with L. major NIH 173 was evaluated in a series of recombinant inbred and congenic strains, as well as F2 progeny generated from a genetic linkage testing stock carrying the visible markers Ra, Os, and Pt. The disease parameters monitored were the incidence of open or necrotic lesions and footpad depths of infected feet, and the incidence and number of amastigotes in livers following infection. Regions of mouse chromosomes 2, 4, 7, 8, 12 and 15 were excluded from linkage to a gene (Scl-1)involved in the susceptibility of inbred strains of mice to cutaneous infection with L. major NIH 173 by F2 and congenic strain analyses. Strain distribution patterns generated for Scl-1 in the CXB and CXS recombinant inbred strains suggested linkage to the distal end of mouse Chromosome 11.

    Notes: Natural killer cell (NK) activity is regulated by both the H-2 and non-H-2 genes. Using bilineal congenic HW26C and HW13 mice which differ from the background strain C57BL/6By (B6) in a region of chromosome 4, we investigated the role played by a gene/genes in a segment of chromosome 4 of BALB/cBy on NK cell activity. Percoll separated low density spleen cells from young HW26C and HW13 mice showed a 3.5 fold higher NK activity than the B6. We also observed that the increase in NK activity of HW26C was not due to an increase in the number of NK cells. Using five other bilineal congenics containing different regions of chromosome 4 of BALB/cBy, we observed that the putative gene(s) regulating NK activity may be located between b and IFN-α/β genes of chromosome 4. The level of NK activity of (B6xHW26C)F1 ranked between the HW26C and B6 suggesting that the gene product described is inherited in an incompletely dominant fashion.

    Notes: We describe a new, non-radioactive microtitre plate assay for the analysis of genetic variations at the DNA level. The new method combines hybridization of oligonucleotides with PCR amplified DNA in liquid phase with detection in solid phase using an elisa-reader. Genomic DNA is labelled with digoxigenin during PCR using a nucleotide mix containing DIG-11-2′-deoxy-uridine-5′-triphosphate (DIG-11-dUTP) DIG labelled, amplified genomic DNA is hybridized in solution with an oligon de which is labelled with one biotin at its 3′-end, using biotin-16,2′,3′-dideoxy ine-5′-triphosphate (BIO-16-ddUTP) and DNA deoxynucleotidylexo-transferase (TdT). The hybridized complex is immobilized in a streptavidin (SA) coated microtitre plate via the biotin and detection of digoxigenin is performed using anti-digoxigenin horseradish peroxidase, fab fragments (anti-DIG-POD), and the colorimetric substrate 2,2′-Azino-di-(3-ethylbenzthiazolinsulfonat[6]) (ABTS®). The resulting absorbtion of the assay is analysed in a microtitre plate reader. This method results in highly specific and sensitive hybridization signals and with the 15 oligonucleotides chosen, allows the typing of DR1-DR10.

    Notes: A healthy 22-year-old woman was noted to have erythrocytes of the Pk phenotype: a strong Pk antigen, no detectable P antigen and anti-P antibody in her serum. Her erythrocytes contained four to six times as much Pk glycolipid (globotriaosylceramide or CTH) and approximately half as much P glycolipid (globotertraosylceramide or globoside) as normal red cells. The structures of CTH and globoside were characterized by analysis of permethylated sugars and complement fixation in addition to chromaographic mobility and sugar composition. Inasmuch as the erythrocytes of two Pk individuals that were analysed previously (Marcus et al., 1976) contained no detectable globoside, these abnormalities appear o represent a new phenotype in the P blood group system.

    Notes: We studied 201 unrelated French Basque individuals for HLA and Bf polymorphisms. The haplotypes of eighty-seven of them were deduced from family studies. The results show the frequency of the Bf F1 allele (0.1393) which is the highest one currently reported. They confirm the high frequencies of HLA-Aw19.2 and B18 previously reported in that population and show that a whole haplotype with strong linkage disequilibria, namely Aw19.2, Cw5, B18, Bf F1, DRw3 is frequent. On the other hand, the gene frequency of Bf S is decreased (0.5497) as compared with the other European Caucasoïd populations, while a slight increase in the Bf F gene frequency (0.2960) appears. These results point out that it is of importance to consider the genetic background in choosing the population where linkage disequilibria are to be studied.

    Notes: The genetic control of hybrid resistance to BALB/c fibrosarcoma Meth-A was investigated. A Meth-A tumour grew slower in (BALB/c X C57BL/6)F1 and reciprocal hybrid mice than in syngeneic BALB/c mice and was also found to grow slower in females than in males. Significant F1 resistance was demonstrated after both subcutaneous and intraperitoneal injection of tumour cells. However, (BALB/c X DBA/2)F1 mice did not show any significant resistance to Meth-A. In H-2 linkage studies of [BALB/c X (BALB/c X C57BL/6)] backcross mice, no statistically significant differences in the resistance of H-2 heterozygotes and homozygotes to Meth-A were observed. These results indicated that F1 hybrid resistance to Meth-A was controlled by non-H-2-linked resistance factor(s). No linkage was observed between resistance to Meth-A and coat colour c- and b-loci.

    Notes: By quantitation of elutable immunoglobulin G in a recently described elisa, the number of HLA class I and II molecules on B-cell lines was determined using monomorphic monoclonal antibodies. An average number of 183 000 binding sites per cell for HLA class I-, 99000 for HLA-DR-, 63000 for DQ- and 42000 for DP-specific monoclonal antibodies were determined. The small amount of HLA class II molecules can in part explain the difficulties observed in HLA class II typing or in detection of class II antibodies using the lymphocytotoxicity text.
